Northern Europe Adventure Trips

I've recently completed the combined Corfu South and North walking trip along the Corfu trail. The walking was excellent with a mixture of walking through olive groves, coastal walking, and hilly terrain. Our guide Spiros was extremely passionate about the trail and caring for it and was a wealth of information. There were lots of opportunities to swim in the evenings though the October weather can be a little challenging. Accommodation and breakfasts were variable but generally OK. Spiros took us to some lovely establishments to enjoy the typical Corfu food which was very good. Overall a fantastic walking trip. Note that the south walks are a bit tougher due to the longer lengths.

If you want to hit the ground running this fast-moving classical tour of in Ancient Egyptian history is for you. You'll cover much of the country, visiting more than a dozen iconic locations. Many important temples, tombs, pyramids, museums and other sites are included or offered as extras. There are also options to meet modern Egyptians and immerse in their culture. Time spent on the Nile cruise, felucca boat trips and in a hot air balloon give exhilarating opportunities to catch your breath and provide other unmissable perspectives.

Fantastic trip encompassing amazing views, scenery and local food. The accommodation in the tea houses was basic and electricity random but waking up to amazing views of the mountains or going by jeep to see the rhinos in Chitwan more than made up for being without our Western creature comforts. Our Guide and local trek leaders were brilliant, and went the extra mile.

Our Explore holiday was fantastic. Diego Torres was our local guide. He spent everyday with us and made sure we knew what we were doing and were safe. No words to explain how good he was. We were expertly guided every day. His enthusiasm for wildlife was fantastic and we all gained from his positive energy. And taking us for Great Experiences All our guides in The Galapagos were also excellent and we would highly recommend them all. They told us about the island as well as sharing their enthusiastic for wildlife. Diana of Isobela Miayari of Isobela Jamie of Santa Cruz

Fantastic trip to Sri Lanka, we saw and learnt so much from our wonderful tour leader Mimi. A full on tour with so much packed in, plus extras suggested by our guide. Hotels all very good, clean with excellent food choices. We visited so many Buddhist and Hindu temples, for our daily blessings, each one, quite different from the other in size and material used to form them. We saw beautiful caves filled with statues and wall paintings. We climbed Sigiriya or Lion rock before breakfast, and were so pleased that the whole group made it to the top. We went on three safaris seeing elephants, deer, buffalo, many species of birds and even saw the elusive leopard. We visited many different workshops displaying local crafts, and the production of them, and even had a blissful Ayurvedic massage one afternoon. All in all a great tour, with like minded people, and we would thoroughly recommend it The cruise around the beautiful islands and the turquoise atolls of the Maldives was much needed to unwind from the fast pace of Sri Lanka. No Wi-Fi meant time to fully relax, read and rewind. The cabins were small but had sufficient places to unpack and put things away, and the en-suite compact but adequate. Visited different reefs twice a day to snorkel around and the crew and tour leader Suja were always there to point out the different flora and fauna. They even dived down with our cameras to make sure we got some amazing photos, and also not being a strong swimmer myself, they made sure I was always safe and supported. The food was excellent with the chef producing three delicious meals a day plus snacks and drinks. We moored up at night near sandbars and deserted islands where we watched the sunset with a nice gin and tonic. We visited a couple of inhabited islands, and were invited to a drumming performance and ended up dancing quite enthusiastically. We snorkelled with sharks before breakfast and with turtles before lunch, not many people can say that. We booked this holiday to celebrate our Golden Wedding, and both tours surprised us with very special celebrations, which we shall hold in our memories forever and to share it with the lovely people we met, now friends, made it even more special.

Amazing adventure, truly the treasures of Spain, Portugal and Morocco. Got to experience the sights, sounds and culture of these amazing cities. Local dining options gave us the chance to experience wonderful cruises. Every detail was taken care of during our trip. Hotels were all great and in fantastic locations. The best tour guide and bus driver ever !!!
